A Simp, A Gent & A Pimp
A gentleman, a simpleton and a pimp were all friends
Who occasionally got together every now and again
The gentleman gave advice to the simpleton about women
While the pimp just sat back an attentively listened to them
See the simpleton was extremely tired of being used & abused
So an alternative course of action is what he needed to choose
And although the gentleman and the pimp had contrasting views
They still tried to explain the game to the third member of the crew
The philosophy of the gentleman was to wine, dine and sixty-nine 'em
Which went against every code of those who called themselves pimps
But what's spending a few dimes if he was in bed at the end of the night
With them taking a swim between their thighs and enjoying the moonlight
Then the pimp interjected because he was vexed and said hold up bruh
Are you out of your mind telling him to spend a dime just to lay up in her
You sound like a weak ass trick trying to buy a bitch for an hour of sexual bliss
Your concupiscent thoughts are making me distraught from hearing this bullshit
The pimp told the simpleton and the gentleman to peep game
He proclaimed that you should never invest emotions in a dame
You should shake 'em and break 'em and make 'em give you dough
That under no circumstance try to romance any of these little hoes
Now the simpleton was perplexed after hearing both of their perspectives
So he diligently and quickly went into introspective mode like a detective
Then he decided that his best option was to delve somewhere in between
Because he didn't view women as bitches and hoes but instead as Queens

As I began reading this, I was like whoa! This is original so as a writer, I was a bit excited. By the 2nd act, I was like it’s still original but..ehh. On the very last line I realized one thing: you just wrote an original poem to reinforce a trope. What if someone reading were abused or manipulated by a woman or worse by their own mother?
It kind of detracts from the overall effectiveness of the piece, see what I mean? Wisdom from personal experience would’ve been far more impactful and would’ve also justified the originality so perfectly represented.
